Initial import of merb-assets-0.9.2 as www/merb-assets.
This package contains a plugin for the Merb framework that provides support for handling assets and asset bundling. The key to making a fast web application is to reduce both the amount of data transfered and the number of client-server interactions. While having many small, module Javascript or stylesheet files aids in the development process, your web application will benefit from bundling those assets in the production environment. An asset bundle is a set of asset files which are combined into a single file. This reduces the number of requests required to render a page, and can reduce the amount of data transfer required if you're using gzip encoding.
